LIVESTOCK producers are being supported to prepare farm biosecurity plans before changes are introduced from October.
Livestock Health and Biosecurity Victoria (LHBV) will run workshops across Victoria to help producers prepare Livestock Production Assurance (LPA) program changes, which come into effect from October 1.
“Our aim is to provide information and tools so producers can develop practical biosecurity plans that will be useful to their farm business,” LHBV project manager Catherine James said.
“For most producers, developing a biosecurity plan will simply be capturing the good work they already do to minimise the risk of introducing or spreading diseases, pests and weeds on their properties.”
